Yep Nintendo is super desperate to sell their games. That's why Luigi's Mansion 2 is going for 56€ instead of 40€ on amazon.de. Nobody wants it.

It's just that giveways of such recent releases are not commonplace. I sense some panic mode here imho. Such plan implies that they don't expect the average 3DS owner to buy more than 2 games in that period (hence they offer a 4th one at 3 purchases) : this must be behind their objectives. And last Xmas in France they were giving a free digital copy of Professor Layton 5 for every purchase of the system. Such agressive marketing clearly suggest they're in a though spot with 3DS in the West.

I don't think that anybody here assumes that Nintendo does this out of the goodness of their heart. So you are kind of stating the obvious here: Nintendo is not as happy with their handheld sales as Sony apparently is.

i AGREE WITH YOU... PEOPLE ARE REALLY FUNNY SOMETIMES!!!! LIKE IF EVERY HOUSEHOLD WILL NOW RUN TO BUY 3 GAMES TO HAVE ONE FREE!
ANYWAY I AM PLEASED. AC IS MY CHOICE

Why the caps lock?
Anyways, I'd say this is more aimed towards people who don't already own a 3DS. I don't think it is too uncommon for such a person to buy 2-3 games at once (why would you buy a 3DS without games?), so with this move the scale might tip in favor of 3 games instead of 2. Someone who already owns one probably is more likely to buy one game at a time and is thus not the main target of this marketing action.

ANyway I am happy for myself at least I only need one more to have AC free!
